Ever wonder why your energy soars in spring, crashes in late summer, and drifts in winter? You’re not broken, you’re seasonal. In this episode, we explore the ancestral, embodied approach to life and business called seasonal living. Learn how circadian, ultradian, and infradian rhythms affect your focus, creativity, and well-being; especially if you’re neurodivergent or biologically female. Walk away with practical ways to work with your cycles, not against them, so you can do meaningful work without burning out.Shownotes:• Industrial Era work ethic: http://workethic.coe.uga.edu/hir.html • Body doubling: tinyurl.com/flownviki • Infradian rhythm: https://health.clevelandclinic.org/infradian-rhythm ___________________________| Chapters |_____________________________📌 Late diagnosed?

We made it. Six months of this series, and this episode is the reflection, not another lesson.This is the season finale, structured as pure practice and integration. I'm revisiting a story I told two years ago about my harshest inner critic, a girl named Valerie who's about sixteen in my head, and how I went from believing I was a quitter to reframing everything I do as a hypothesis I get to test. We talk about quick body check ins, catching yourself performing instead of aligned, and naming your actual next growth edge instead of just what you produced this year.| Want to start this course at its origin? https://youtu.be/hFz0gdpdA9A || Chapters |0:00 - Welcome to the Finale0:24 - How Today's Episode Is Different0:59 - Meet Valerie, the Inner Critic1:32 - Quick Body Check1:47 - The Web Series That "Failed" (Anderson Street)2:13 - Nobody Showed Up to My Women's Circle2:33 - From Quitter to Experimenter3:00 - Witnessing This Season Together3:25 - Your Final Integration Homework4:08 - What a Real Coaching Container Looks Like4:47 - What's Next & Where to Find Me5:11 - The Rez Kit5:36 - Sign Off & Ireland TripAll three episodes are chaptered now.

I got invited to a big-deal track meet three years in a row. Three years, three excuses to my coach about why he needed to use the backup runner.I was not sick. I was terrified of being good at something in front of people.This one is unscripted and a little raw. I went live because I had just gotten off a call and needed to process something that surfaced during a social media detox in August: I am not afraid of failing. I am afraid of it working.We get into the difference between the two, because they are not the same fear. Fear of failure keeps you from starting. Fear of success lets you start, lets you get close, and then hands you a perfectly reasonable excuse to fumble it at the finish line.Then there is the neurodivergent layer, which nobody talks about. Never registering your own accomplishments. Rejection sensitivity. Reading visibility as danger. Collecting endless certifications so you never have to declare yourself qualified.I also walk through the four things I actually use with clients and on myself:• Name it, tame it, claim it (mine is named Vivian)• The experience timeline, which is basically an anti-resume• The cookie jar, a physical cure for success amnesia• Sprints instead of five and ten year goalsNot sure if this is your pattern or something else entirely?

Racing heart. Sweaty pits. Tight chest. That's not random anxiety, that's your body handing you information before your brain catches up.Week two of Living as Yourself Without Permission is about what embodiment actually means once you strip away the wellness industry gloss. It's the difference between forced action, reacting out of old patterns and self blame, and aligned action, actually listening to what your body already knows.

You're not bad at time management. You're waiting for permission you never needed.This week I'm kicking off a new series called Living as Yourself Without Permission, starting with the moment I realized my shame, perfectionism, and inadequacy were all the same guy at the same party. Waiting for validation of my existence, how I think, and what I like.Clients come to me asking for better systems and better scripts. What they're actually asking for, almost every time, is liberation.

You’re not rude. You’re reclaiming yourself.In this episode, I’m diving into the challenging realities of BOUNDARY setting - especially when you’ve been raised, praised, or socialized to be agreeable, accommodating, and available 24/7.Inside this episode, we’ll unpack:• Why boundary-setting feels so hard for women & neurodivergent folks• How people-pleasing gets coded as safety• Why boundaries are actually a somatic self-care practice• A simple sentence to start using if saying “no” still feels impossibleThis one’s for every recovering good girl, over-giver, and over-explainer.💬 Drop a comment: What boundary are you working on this week?Shownotes:- Nedra Tawwab book on boundaries: https://amzn.to/4q2Lnvm - Lysa TerKeurst on boundaries & goodbyes: https://amzn.to/4iJtkro ___________________________📌 Late diagnosed?

You do not have a boundary problem. You have a nervous system that learned disappointing people was dangerous.This week on Adventuring with ADHD we get into fawning, the fourth survival response nobody warned you about, and why every boundary book you have read has been quietly failing you. Spoiler: the words were never the issue. A boundary is a regulation skill wearing a communication costume, and you cannot script your way out of a survival response.We cover what fawning actually is, why traditional boundary advice flops for ADHD women, the regulation it really takes to hold a line, and the self-trust underneath all of it.| Want to start this course at its origin? https://youtu.be/hFz0gdpdA9A || Chapters |0:00 - You don't have a boundary problem1:27 - Meet the fourth F: fawning2:47 - Why every boundary book fails you4:28 - Which survival pattern is yours (free quiz)5:07 - A boundary is a regulation skill in disguise6:39 - The self-trust layer underneath it all8:15 - How to actually measure a boundary9:07 - Your assignment this week| Shownotes |• xxx___________________________📌 Late diagnosed?

People-pleasing is not a personality flaw. It is a survival response, and for a lot of neurodivergent adults it is the one nobody taught us to put down.This episode kicks off a brand new month on fawning and boundaries. I tell the story of Dani, a composite client whose smallest yes finally broke her, and walk through how she learned to set boundaries with her mom, her partner, and eventually a new boss without a single apology.

I was told I was fine for years. Then I ran the actual tests.In this episode, I share my full four-year health reclamation story: how a late ADHD diagnosis at 32 connected the dots between prediabetes, MCAS, PCOS, a parasite, gut dysbiosis, estrogen dominance, fibroids, and infertility — and how I reversed them one by one, with real lab markers to prove it.| Want to start this course at its origin? https://youtu.be/hFz0gdpdA9A || Chapters |0:00 - The procedure and the parking lot cry1:00 - Welcome back and why this one's personal1:45 - What my 2022 labs actually said3:28 - The 2025 panel that wrecked me5:34 - Plot twist: it was all one root7:19 - What healing actually required9:54 - May 2026: the receipts11:01 - The part I actually need you to hear12:39 - The 80/20 and what comes next| Shownotes |• True Phoenix Functional Health: truephoenix.org ___________________________📌 Late diagnosed?
